my name is Luiz Shamblin and I've lived at Morningside for years this may I chose Morningside because my father and my uncle were the first two that moved into Morningside when it opened their vans were at the gate that morning when it opened then at one point I had seven relatives here at the same time when I first wanted to come to Morningside I was afraid I wouldn't be able to afford it but when I looked at what my cost at home for maid service gardeners Bugman water utilities all of the expenses my monthly charge here at Morningside is nowhere near as high as it was at home the most important part for me and choosing Morningside was the continuing care of being able to have Park Vista with their assisted living and their skilled nursing available I like to look at all kinds of paintings but what I like to paint myself is watercolor what I like to do it Morningside are the painting classes the sewing classes the food the gym which I don't get to as often as I should but all the activities we go to plays we go to the theater there's nothing I don't like about Morningside we started a women's billiard group because we saw the billiard tables not being used very often when they were used by the men it was so serious and quiet so we've started a group and we play billiards every Monday at 3 o'clock and it's a very noisy time for everybody else on the promenade because we do a lot of laughing and just have a wonderful time the staff at Morningside is phenomenal in every area many people think that they're giving up their independence by moving to Morningside and it's just the opposite in here for two years has been the most wonderful decision I've ever made I have a friend who has told me that they aren't ready for Morningside and what I told her was they shouldn't wait come now you

I can't tell you the pleasure we have had living here it's like being on a cruise ship we keep saying this is like living in a resort on a scale of one to ten I would say that our experience has been a 12 I felt coming here was extending the enjoyment of my life enormous ly living alone my life would be closing down a little bit instead of opening up and broadening which it has done here I feel like Tina again when I go by the mirror maybe I it isn't a team but inside yes I had actually looked at six different senior communities most of them were high-rises and I was not going to settle for that the place itself is just beautiful a lot of effort has been put into the aesthetics sometimes I walk through the clubhouse and I say I never imagined I could have lived in a place as beautiful as this this is 65 acres of absolutely beautiful grounds maintained perfectly the beauty is everywhere we downsized our house that we enlarged our life there's so much going on here we have so many places to go in so many things to do they've got everything here that you could possibly want from the library to the swimming pool fitness room the cutting course out there the bocce courts there's plenty of walking trails there's biking trails entertaining is so easy if you want to play card to save I'll meet you in the car group if you want to have dinner we'll meet you at dinner everything is done for you and you're just here to relax and enjoy yourself I don't think I've ever been as spoiled or as carefree in my life as I've been since I've been here there's such an interesting mix of people here the stories that people can tell and the lives that they have lived up to this point and what's going to go on from now on it's incredible I wouldn't have been expanding my social venue I would have been limiting it at this time and the expansion has been absolutely fabulous what are the beauties of coming and being here is that I don't have to do anymore gardening work I don't have to even do housekeeping because that's all included in the amenities here I don't have to take care of a house anymore and all that goes with it I just didn't want to fool with that anymore I'm so glad that I don't have to get up on the roof and clean the gutters anymore Carol was concerned about my falling off a ladder or falling off the roof I've been very happy to see that it has really cut down the number of bills I pay each month since all the utilities all those things are included it's funny because I go to my bell box and I think oh no bills you know it's just really nice we were given a general price range of what the monthly cost would be and I assumed in my thinking oh it'll be a little more than that and and it hasn't been having the option for having a villa is good and everything is doable to make it your own we had the opportunity to change it according to our style we have a lovely dining area the kitchen is bright and cheerful the master bedroom has a huge window so the light in there is lovely to me it just makes the house our home it's our home we have three bedrooms one is my husband's office one is my room two baths and kitchen I don't use a kitchen pretty much because the food here is so wonderful the food is sensational the desserts and everything are all homemade buy pastry chef and they are out of this world lots of choices lots of courses we have enough appetizers and we're having salads and entrees and dessert every night our family just loves to come visit us here they love the dining room even the young grandson does we have something here that's very special it's a facility on campus that we can use for rehabilitation recovery from an injury I consider myself to be quite a fit person and I'd like to exercise but one day and I caught my foot and fell and broke my hip the care that I received was just superior to anything I ever could have gotten had I been at home and I hate to think what my life would have been like if I had been in my home isolated in the hills with no assistance other than work my poor husband who would be stuck with taking care of me this is just a great place to be you really got to think of the future in the future is are you doing your job to take care of the one you love it gives me great peace of mind to know that if something happens to me she's taken care of this is a person I care about that's the reason I did not want this to be something that was decided for me and I find that there's a lot of satisfaction in that knowing that I'm still very much in control of my own future we got to thinking of what's going to happen when we get older who's going to take care of us we didn't want to put this on our children when we came here we gave each other a big gift and together we gave a gift to our children that is the peace of mind that as we age we're taking care of we have safety and that we have health services I wish I'd done it earlier if this had been here when I sixty-two I would have moved here come now and enjoy life this is a wonderful way to live don't wait come now come early my decision to come was the best thing I did for myself we're now in a living happily ever after stage and we're doing it right at the right place and that is a wonderful wonderful thing to have happen to you you
